Paleo Sweet Potato Chips

Okay, so it goes without saying that I have a husband who LOVES chips. We don’t have them in our house often but when we do it’s like the movie… Gone In 60 Seconds.:)

I thought I would give making them a try last night to see if I could come up with a “healthy” chip that would pass the Chip Connoisseur’s specifications and make me feel a little better that he’s not eating garbage. Mission successful! Let me start by saying that these are tasty low-glycemic treats that rival restaurant sweet potato chips and are far better than sweet potato chips out of a bag.

You can try these with an organic seasoning salt for a more savory flavor or lightly sprinkled with cinnamon for a sweet treat. I made ours with Himalayan sea salt and they were delish!

Ingredients

4 organic sweet potatoes – try to get the “straight ones” for a more uniform cut.

Instructions

Place a small dab of coconut oil (1/4 a teaspoon) onto a rimmed baking sheet and “grease” the sheet. A little goes a long way!

Place sweet potato rounds on the parchment paper.

Melt coconut oil and use a pastry brush to lightly brush some coconut oil on top of each sweet potato round. If you don’t have a pastry brush you can use the back of a spoon to lightly brush some coconut oil onto the chips.

Sprinkle salt on top.

Place in the oven to bake for around 10 minutes. Flip sweet potatoes over and bake for another 5 minutes or until edges are brown and have curled up a bit.

*If you like your chips a little thinner (crispy) adjust your mandoline and reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
